Last year, Spotify launched Connect, a new home audio experience that lets you play millions of tracks through your speakers and Smart TVs, using the Spotify app on mobile and tablet as a remote. Simple, seamless and hassle-free.

In just one year, Spotify Connect has become available on more than 80 speakers and home audio systems from the world’s leading brands. Before the end of the year, that number will rise to over 100 devices, and with products ranging from €50 to €2000, there’s something for everyone.

And today Spotify announces new partners, including Bose, Panasonic, and Gramofon. With a broad range of high quality devices, these partners are further increasing the range of Spotify Connect, meaning even more people can enjoy million of tracks in their homes. Gramofon, which is part of an exciting new category of products, allows consumers to upgrade their existing stereos with Spotify Connect.

Spotify Connect will be available on Smart TVs and Multi Room systems:

“Our mission with Connect was to give people a better way to listen at home, and we have delivered exactly that for music fans all over the world in just one year,” says Sten Garmark, VP Product at Spotify. “We wanted to offer a broad range of devices, and our partners have delivered an incredible range of innovative Multi Room systems, receivers, radios and dongles for every budget. This is just the beginning. Our goal is to put Connect devices into the home of every music fan on the planet.”
